Two Videos for Fixing Bike Noises like Clicks, Ticks and Clunks!

Here on these pages, I've offered many common and not so common bike noises and how I and you have fixed them. To go back in time and see all the weird and wonderful noises and fixes for them, simply type in the search button the word "noise," and you'll find plenty to read and lots of ideas.

Recently, I've created two videos about noises. Since I have a library of bicycle wheel videos, I decided I needed a video all about common noises that come from bike wheels. Then, after I wrapped that up, I received a great comment reminding me of another very common noise-maker.

This one is a tick or click that only happens when you're pedaling. Most riders hear it and think - since it happens when you're pedaling - that it's coming from the drivetrain components. Which can lead to a lot of work trying to track the noise down in the pedals, cleats, crankarms, crankset, chainring bolts and bottom bracket.

And what can happen is that none of these things are the problem. Instead it's a dry seatpost binder bolt or clamp or the seat clamping hardware. It's about a 2 minute job to spray some lube on these areas. And often that little spritz will stop the tick or click.

Since it's so easy and such a time saver for fixing what is a highly frustrating noise, my second video is all about that and how to deal with it.
